I have had two kids already but both times my waters were broken in hospital.

For the past week or so I have this feeling inside- its difficult to describe- its like the baby is pushing down the way and like I'm going to gush fluid.

I know its not a kidney infection coz I had my urine checked at hospital recently- I do wonder is this a sign that my waters are going to go soon???

Im hoping my waters go soon as i dont want the baby to put on any more weight if im to have a natural birth. Had a scan last week and hes already at 9LB. I keep feeling like hes going to push his hand out down there and i have to pull my muscles in to stop it lol!

Oh honey, I know how cr*ppy you can feel towards the end, but don't be wishing this little one into the world 'just' yet. Baby needs to bake a little longer to ensure the best possible start in the world. A baby born at 34/35 weeks would almost certainly need a stint in SCBU, as their little lungs are just not mature enough at this stage. I went into premature labour at 32 weeks and had to have a bunch of steroids to help babies lungs. I was told that they would do everything they could to stop the labour until at least 37 weeks.

Hang on in there, I do hope you'll go into natural labour, but don't be in too much of a hurry. xx

I had a show last night and I keep thinking my waters have broken but it's just an increase in vaginal discharge!! I do have a feeling the I constantly need the toilet though even after I've just been so that could be a sign of them about to pop!
